so i think you're saying (not that gender matters) is a female manager said the junior guy was off the team (fired?) if they got a tesla.
were there any repercussions for the manager? if they worked for me, they'd need to start looking for another job either way unless they were so valuable in other ways (and didn't repeat that 'stunt').
Right. No repercussions other than me telling her that was totally ridiculous and that we would never do such a thing. She never really had the authority to do anything like that anyways but still, just the notion that something like that would ever endanger anybody's affiliation with is us absurd.
She's very political and can't bring herself to even participate in things that other agents in the office who we know are Trump fans participate in. Which is also completely absurd. Everybody is welcome at my table.
The F-150 Lightning has reclaimed the top spot among electric pickups in the U.S., according to S&P Global Mobility.
In March, the Cybertruck logged 2,170 new registrations—falling over 400 units behind the Lightning, which registered 2,598 vehicles. The Lightning, which hit the market in May 2022, has edged ahead in both March and the full first quarter of 2025.
Across the first quarter, Tesla’s Cybertruck totaled 7,126 registrations, while the F-150 Lightning reached 7,913.
Really terrible numbers for both. I said a long time ago that the Cybertruck would fizzle after the initial hype. At this point for the Lightning, that is just terrible. The full size pickup market is going to take a long time to convert. Many never will.
For instance, one owner who purchased a 2024 Cybertruck Foundation Series for $100,000 is now being offered $65,400 by Tesla for trade-in, representing a 34.6% drop in value with just 6,000 miles driven. For comparison, typical pickup trucks lose around 20% of their value after one year and 34% after three to four years.
